<p>lasts way longer than normal helmet pads, easy to apply, doesn't soak up as much sweat either.

Fri, 25 Oct 2013 09:14:01 +0000Deveron535454695@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>The original pad material is a 'loopy' brushed nylon that sticks to male velcro. I'm trying to invent a helmet pad that helps with sweat transmission/evaporation. So I want a more porous pad. We sweat to lose heat by convection. If the sweat just soaks into a sponge, we don't lose heat. And when the sponge reaches 'full' - what happens?

<p>Seriously though could you not sew on a nice material to it, doesn't have to be the full pad shape, just where it grips in the helmet.

Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:00:42 +0000Deveron535452773@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I'm going to have a go at making my own custom helmet pads. I can't seem to find the material that grips the spiky velcro. Anyone know what I can use? The nearest stuff I've got is the covering to camping pillows. I keep wandering around material shops with a bit of Velcro in my hand, trying to stick it to fabrics.
